Chapter 11: 11. Guest
At the beginning there were more guys partying with us, but somehow only us four stayed as the primary group, and now we know each other better than the rest of the class.
Now, besides classmates, we are also friends, and if one is hungover, mostly the other three are as well.
Jordan also had sunglasses on, which I ordered for him. We sat in the big car that drove as to school– the arrangement of my caretaker.
"Where did you get your attest from?" Jordan asked, wanting to get one himself.
"The teacher forgot to ask me, there is no attest." I said and leaned back, closing my eyes behind my own sunglasses.
"I feel left out." Danny said.
"Get yourself punched by Henry, then you are welcomed in our club." Jordan said, pushing his sunglasses up and also leaning back.
"You think I won't do it?" Danny asked and got kicked by all of us for his dumbness.
"The more sunglasses, the more attention. Be happy to have both of your eyes." I grunted and soon got sleepy.
When we walked into the class, it was already filled. I bet we reek like a whole beer factory, albeit all of us using deodorants. Jordan was eyed especially, but he ignored it as we all sat down.
The seat directly behind me was occupied by Henry. He seemed to have changed it closer to me.
Omar made a motion to the blackboard, and I waved my phone at him. He sat in the first row, Danny was beside me, Jordan somewhere to the right.
Seeing the message from him, I stood up and wrote down the URL on the blackboard, writing under it, (Kenny's POV), (coming soon).
I don't like talking in front of so many people, so I just did not. On my way back, I was pierced by blues eyes, but I ignored it. If he can post whatever he wanted, I could too. I won't mention anything of what I saw from her past, but I will clarify that the second entry is bullshit.
Omar applauded silently, and I laid my head on the desk with my sunglasses still on, being dead tired.
It wasn't easy to sleep during the classes, especially with Henry not letting me out of his eyes, but it wasn't impossible.
After school, I was tired and ready to go home, as did the others after telling me to be cautious. I walked to my bus station and felt Henry's presence behind me. Still, it was better now that I had finally talked to him yesterday, or better said today.
The bus ride was a long one, and the buildings got older and ugly the closer we came to my home. Finally, arriving after I napped on the bus, I went grocery shopping with my shadow behind me.
Then I walked up the hill in a narrow alley, took stone steps, reaching the topmost building. Then another two staircases on the side of my apartment building until I stood before my flat. Henry was standing a few steps behind me, watching me.
"Come in?" I raised my brows.
Seeing him not react, I sighed,
"Can't you search for evidence when you come in?"
If he doesn't want.... I walked inside and kicked the door shut, only for a foot to intercept. Snorting, I let him enter as well, while I went to wash my hands, the meat, and vegetables I got, as well as the rice. Henry was looking through my things, but there was nothing to hide in the first place. Porn is on my phone which it is in my pants pocket, but even if he found it, we are all men. Besides that, I had no secret hobbies, no sadistic tendencies or anything.
I was really lenient with him. Maybe it was because I felt the pain and brokenness myself, perhaps because I lost someone as well, possibly because he really looked like the dull girl I talked to for a year. I wasn't in love with her, but I somehow liked her. That she was so silent, and because of her presence, like some older sister who was at the same time a bit dumb, becoming a younger sister as well.
"The first diary entry is the truth. The second is false." I said, while I cut everything into small pieces before throwing it in the cooker — this thing was the most expensive here, besides my clothes and my mattress on the floor. It was just a one-room apartment, but I liked it. So down to earth.
Looking back, I saw Henry surveying the mattress, searching for something.
"I never take girls here, and I didn't meet your sister outside of school." I bet he looked for her hair.
His eyes met mine before he continued to observe the blanket. Looking at his hands, I noticed that he had gloves on, they were skin-coloured, so I hadn't noticed them. I laughed out loud, finding this meticulousness unexpected of the guy choking the life out of me just yesterday.
"What about a hairnet? Shoe covers?" I asked, motioning to his hair with my knife, which got me a suspicious look from him.
Throwing the knife inside the sink, I yelled at him,
"WOULD YOU TALK TO ME? I SAID THE SECOND ENTRY IS WRONG!"
